Week 2 - Diabetes and Pulled Muscles are not so great for bodybuilding

Introduction

Last week I managed to slightly strain my left pectoral, so the first part of this week I took things pretty easy.  everything was good by the end of the week so next week shouldn't be nearly as shittastic.  Also, I ran out of Test-Trips for my blood glucose (I'm a Type 1 Diabetic... not the fattybeetus kind), so I had to play it pretty careful with my insulin (i.e. take less so that I didn't crash and fall into a coma.)  That said, I still managed to GAIN weight on a fucking cut.  Checkmate Taubes.

Day 1 - Upper Body Power - 10/7/2013

• Barbell Rows: 3x5@195lbs
• Weighted Pullups: 1x7@25lbs * 
• Rack Chins: 2x10@0lbs
• Barbell Bench Press 3x5x230lbs
• Weighted Dips: Nope
• Fuck this shit: 100 reps

Notes:

As mentioned above, I did something weird to my left pec during hack squats last week, and its apparently still strained.  After the 7th rep on weighted pull ups I felt a horrendous pain and couldn't do another rep.  I rested 5 minutes then went to do rack chins, and grinded them out, with a significant amount of discomfort and decided I'd avoid aggravating it any further after struggling through bench.

Note:  I'm focusing CG Bench for the next several months, so my weights are going to be low for a little bit.

Day 2 - Lower Body Power Day 10/8/2013

• Squats: 3x5@245lbs
• Bulgarian Split Squat: 2x10@60lbs (30 each arm)
• Leg Extensions: 2x10@90lbs
• SLDL - Skipped due to pec
• Leg Curls 2x10@90lbs
• Standing Calf Raise 3x10@135lbs
• Seated Calf Raise 2x10@90lbs

Notes:

Opted for BSS instead of hack squats to keep from straining my pec.  This exercise is one of the worst creations ever.  They hurt so good.

Day 4 - Back and Shoulders Hypertrophy 10/10/2013

• Barbell Rows: 6x3x165lbs
• Rack Chins: 3x12@0lbs
• DB Rows: 3x10@75lbs
• Snatch Grip BB Shrugs: 2x15@275lbs
• Dumbbell Press: 3x12@40lbs
• SG Highpull: 2x15@105lbs
• Lateral Raises: 3x20@15lbs

Laterals continue to be the most humbling exercise I do.  I get to about rep 12 and I have to rest-pause the rest of them.

SG High pulls are hell at high reps, but so much better than upright rows.

Day 5 - Lowerbody Hypertrophy

Speed Squats - 6x3@225lbs

Hack Squat - 3x12@135lbs

Bulgarian split squat - 3xfalling overx30lbs

Leg extensions - 3x20@90lbs

Romainian Deadlift - 3x12@135lbs

Leg Curls - 3x20@90lbs

Standing Calf Raises - 3x15@135lbs

Notes: 

Bulgarian Split squat sucks so much anus. every set on each leg I ended up nearly faceplanting but still got my reps. legs were-a-tremblin by the end

Day 6 - Bropertrophy

Flat BB Bench - 6x3@185lbs

Incline BB Bench - 3x12@135lbs

Dips - 3x15

DB Flyes - 3x20@25lbs

BB Curls 3x12@85lbs

Concentration curls 2x15@35lbs

Preacher Curls 4x10@45lbs

JM Press - 3x12@135lbs

Notes:

Skipped tricep kickbacks because I didn't want to grow boobs.  Everything except dips and flat BB bench were done with a slow negative (4 count).  Preacher Curls were done 'myo-rep' style (do as many as possible until failure, then rest 5/10 seconds, pump out a few more reps.)

Thoughts:

Despite the rather inauspicious start, I'm already starting to feel stronger, and there are things I'm noticing regarding my appearance that are somewhat promising.  I'll be posting progress pics at the end of week 4, just because week-to-week is rarely that interesting.

I need to find something that isn't quite as frustrating as BSS, but other than that, I'm pretty happy with the routine as a whole.
